BEI is a program of the ElderCare Alliance. The Eldercare Alliance is
a not for profit collaboration of three Boston home care agencies, also
known as Aging Services Access Points (ASAP's): Boston Senior Home Care,

provided the information, guidance and support necessary to identify,
plan and secure alternatives that help make independent living possible
